Great Plains Wine

Sure, be skeptical.  I was.  We tasted at the Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City SD.  The family has been making grape wines since the 1880s and here they have incorporated some local fruits and come up with some fun names.  We came home with a few bottles: Uncle Ralph Rhubarb wine: which is a lovely dry red.  Blue Suede Shoes is a sweet one that is Zinfandel with a bit of blueberry.  Pheasant Reserve is a pretty dry Merlot with chokecherry.   Their best seller is called Red Ass Rhubarb and is rhubarb and red raspberry.  It was a bit too sweet for me so it didn’t make it into our basket.

Tasting was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to many an evening of sipping.
